Carribean IL

Three items: two recent articles -

Hosein, S. (2006) "Teaching Information Literacy at the University of the West Indies in Trinidad." Information development, 22 (2), 110-115.

Durrant, F. (2006) "The World Wide Web Enhancing E-government in the Caribbean: an assessment of government portals or gateway websites." IFLA Journal, 32 (3), 240-250. Whole issue at http://www.ifla.org/V/iflaj/IFLA-Journal-3-2006.pdf

Thirdly, a UNESCO initiative that I found out about from an entry on Michael Lorenzen's blog. The progamme "targets primary school students and community residents within the vicinity of the [Tunapuna Public] Library and aims to empower the local community through access to information and knowledge, while improving Information Literacy skills." http://portal.unesco.org/ci/en/ev.php-URL_ID=23864&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html
